H O W E F F E C T I V E I S Y O U R A G I L E D E L I V E R Y ?

In today’s fast-paced business environment, the price to play is responsiveness to customer demands and speed to market.

As companies look for ways to deliver with better speed and predictability, most end up discovering a few common issues:

1. They don’t know and can’t communicate the capacity of their technology teams;

2. They are deploying unreliably, either because they have quality issues or they lack stakeholder alignment;

3. There is low visibility between business and technology teams, breeding miscommunication and mistrust.

Many companies look to Agile delivery practices to address these problems, and with good reason. Agile can and has transformed delivery organizations, enhancing business and technology collaboration, and creating high-performing, predictable delivery teams. However, Agile is not a silver bullet. Good Agile is hard to do. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re well into your Agile journey, Jabian’s Agile Transformation Assessment can help evaluate your organization’s maturity and define a custom Agile Transformation path that aligns with your goals and timelines.

A one-size-fi ts-all approach to Agile adoption will not yield the process and culture shift s necessary to realize the full benefi ts of Agile delivery. Agile delivery shift s the way teams engage with business stakeholders and how they deliver soft ware to meet strategic objectives. An eff ective Agile transformation requires buy-in and close collaboration between business and technology stakeholders, transparent communications across functional groups, and full engagement from business owners.
